*3rd POV*

It was another chilly fall day, and Aricka was walking to school. She saw people pointing and smiling at her, and it made her nervous, so she grabbed Logan's hand-the car had broken down, so they walked to school today. "They're staring," she whispers.

"It's okay," Logan says, smiling because he knew why they were smiling and staring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan leads her to the auditorium, where Mark was waiting. "Aricka, can you come up here, please?" she runs down the aisle and up the stairs to him. "I have something to ask you, but first, I prepared a song for you." then the song starts playing:

"One less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

How many I told you's and start overs and shoulders have you cried on before?

How many promises? Be honest girl, how many tears you let hit the floor?

How many bags you packed just to take 'em back tell me that? How many either or's?

But no more, if you let me inside of your world there'll be the one less lonely girl..." Aricka gasps, and covers her hand, tears rushing to her eyes.

"Oh no, saw so many pretty faces, now all I see is you

Oh no, don't need these other pretty faces

Cause when you're mine in the world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl, there's gonna be one less lonely girl

I'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you're worth

If you let me inside your world, there's gonna be one less lonely girl...." he starts dancing with her, and keeps singing,

" Christmas wasn't merry, 14th of February, not one of 'em spent with you

How many dinner dates, set dinner plates and he didn't even touch his food?

How many torn photographs are you taping back? Tell me that, couldn't see an open door

But no more, if you let me inside of your world, there'll be one less lonely girl..." he kisses her hand, and she blushes, laughing.

"Oh no, saw so many pretty faces, now all I see is you

Oh no, don't need these other pretty faces

Cause when you're mine in the world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

I'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you're worth

If you let me inside your world, there's gonna be one less lonely girl..." Dodie comes out of the shadows with a bouquet of lilies-her favorite. Dan comes out with a tiara, and Troye and Phil come out with signs, but she can't read them yet. Mark sets the tiara on her head, and sings more of the song,

" I can fix up your broken heart, I can give you a brand new start

I can make you believe, I just wanna set one girl free to fall

She's free to fall with me, her hearts locked and know what, I got the key

I'll take her and leave the world with one less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl, there's gonna be one less lonely girl

I'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you're worth

If you let me inside your world

One less lonely girl, one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

I'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you're worth

If you let me inside your world, there's gonna be one less lonely girl." Mark smiles when he finishes. "Aricka, will you be my one less lonely girl?"

She didn't even hesitate. "Yes."
